Hens spend a large part of their day foraging when they're given the chance, and scattering a handful of corn across the run is one of the simplest ways to encourage that natural scratching and pecking behaviour, rather than everything arriving in one bowl.

This is a 5kg bag of mixed corn from Mr Johnson's. The maker has not broken out a protein, fat or fibre analysis, and the card doesn't specify whether this is intended as a complete feed or a scatter grain to sit alongside one — mixed corn is traditionally the latter.

• 5kg bag
• Mixed corn (grain), not a formulated pellet or crumb
• Sold for poultry
• No analytical constituents published
• Brand: Mr Johnson's

What the label does not say. Mixed corn is traditionally fed as a scatter treat that encourages foraging, rather than as a bird's whole diet, but the card doesn't state this explicitly one way or the other, and no protein or fat figure is given. If you're using this as the only feed for a flock, that's worth checking against proper poultry-feeding advice.

Who it's for: keepers who want a scatter grain to encourage natural foraging behaviour alongside a proper layer or grower feed, rather than a complete diet on its own.
